How would I connect these speakers to my tiny Sony MP3 recorder? null

Buy instead portable speakers that have a speaker wire connected to them with a 3.5mm jack instead. These speakers aren't meant for small portable devices they meant for home theater or outdoor equipment requiring a good amplifier.

To connect your Insignia™ 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Speakers to your Sony MP3 recorder, you'll need an amplifier or receiver, as the speakers require more power than the MP3 recorder can provide directly. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Connect the MP3 Recorder to the Amplifier:
   - Use a 3.5mm to RCA cable. Plug the 3.5mm end into the headphone jack of your Sony MP3 recorder.
   - Connect the RCA ends to the input jacks on your amplifier or receiver.

2. Connect the Speakers to the Amplifier:
   - Use speaker wire to connect the red (+) and black (-) terminals on the speakers to the corresponding terminals on the amplifier.
   - Ensure the connections are secure and match the polarity (red to red, black to black).

3. Power On and Adjust Settings:
   - Turn on your amplifier and set it to the correct input source (the one connected to your MP3 recorder).
   - Play music from your MP3 recorder and adjust the volume on the amplifier to your desired level.

This setup will allow you to enjoy your music through the Insignia speakers with enhanced sound quality.
